Randy Sandwich 209 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Has he gone yet? No - sadistic *** is making us suffer for as long as humanly possible. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 It may already have happened. Like Gibson could have already said like thanks Tony go enjoy your holiday see you around. And we will never know until June 1st! Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 What were the provided options on the feedback survey? Over the phone it was completely free choice. I made it very clear that I would've renewed on the first day of the early bird sales if Pulis had not been here or if we were playing even palatable football. Also made it clear that I intend on renewing if and when he leaves this summer. The woman on the phone sounded like the was writing/typing down the response for about the 100th time that day.

boksicdink 1,942 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Do we think that the next person in charge of the club is more of a coach than a traditional manager? I ask this with Adrian Bevington in mind, as I don't see how he technically fits into the current set up if the next person in charge is a "manager". Was he brought in to spearhead this new "moneyball" type operating model beyond Pulis? I guess if the answer is yes, then does mean we finally get some continuation from one manager to the next in terms of the types of players we recruit? is he our Monchi so to speak?

Will 2,958 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I wish the term moneyball would die in relation to our club. No transfer we have made since the first time Vickers mentioned it has been remotely like 'moneyball'. Pukki to Norwich was a moneyball type signing. Previously highly rated youngster who's gone a bit off the boil and has failed in other systems but has attributes that fit your system perfectly. Sign him for a ridiculously low fee as the market doesn't rate him very highly anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

People know that Bevington's career has been in communications right? He eventually became FA Communications Director and before that he was within the communications department there. Before joining the FA he was in various media roles and I think he's wrote some Boro books. What would be know about moneyball, recruitment or indeed anything to do with the football side of things? He's a Boro fan involved in journalism and PR. Our Monchi? :funny: :funny: :funny: Link to post Share on other sites

Why are people expecting him to have a vastly different role here? Yet another jobs for the boys appointment from the outside looking in given he has literally no experience in player recruitment.

Tudders80 674 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So I spoke to the young lady today who said that pulis wouldn't be given a new contract. She said that as far as she is aware nothing has changed. She expected it would be announced this week but maybe they are waiting for all the feedback from the season ticket non renewals before making it official. Link to post Share on other sites

Re: Monchi - Bevington's title is "Head of Recruitment Operations" does that not encapsulate the role that Monchi did at Sevilla? And yet that's exactly what he is. I think he still has his own PR firm as before he came here he was consulting. He's been hired presumably on the basis of whatever contacts he's made over the years. He is a PR guy that has been promoted upwards. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It’s like the opposite of Christmas. Instead of “has he been?” it’s “has he ***ed off yet?” Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers for the update, if there waiting for the feedback from non renewals then it should make parting company with Pulis crystal clear Link to post Share on other sites
